If you have experienced
sexual violence
you can report it to the police.
Then the police may drive you
to the hospital.
At the hospital, a doctor
or a nurse
will search for traces on your body.
For example, skin cells,
hair or sperm.
These traces can provide evidence
against the person who
did this to you.
If you are unsure
whether you want to tell the police,
you can still go to the hospital.
It is good to go to the hospital
as quickly as possible
after the violence happened.
If you have experienced
sexual violence
you should not shower
or wash yourself
before going to the hospital.
It is good
for you to bring the clothing
that you were wearing
when the assault happened.
